The club’s superstar duo took to social media after seeing their side fall just short of European success
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have taken to social media to congratulate Bayern Munich after they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Champions League final on Sunday.
A 59th-minute header from former PSG man Kingsley Coman proved enough for the Bundesliga giants as Thomas Tuchel’s side were unable to claim their first Champions League crown.
Having finally ended their quarter-final curse in the competition, the Parisians were unable to find a way past Manuel Neuer with both Mbappe and Neymar denied by Bayern’s veteran shot-stopper.
“Losing is part of the sport, we try everything, we fight until the end,” Neymar posted on Twitter. “Thanks for the support and affection from everyone. Congratulations Bayern.”
Perder faz parte do esporte, tentamos de tudo, lutamos até o final. Obrigado pelo apoio e carinho de cada um de vocês 🙏🏽 e PARABÉNS ao BAYER 👏🏽

Mbappe, meanwhile, was unable to add to his impressive trophy collection with the 21-year-old already boasting a World Cup and four Ligue 1 titles.
Much like Neymar, the Frenchman was quick to accept the result and congratulate his German opponents on their success.
“Disappointed not to end this year with the best of awards, but life is made that way,” Mbappe posted on Twitter.
Déçu de ne pas conclure cette année avec la plus belle des récompenses mais la vie est faite ainsi.On s’est battu de toutes nos forces. Félicitations au Bayern.
Et un grand merci pour votre soutien.— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) August 24, 2020
“We fought with all our might. Congratulations to Bayern. And a big thank you for your support.”
